How the library works
Every guide answers a defined reader question instead of padding a keyword.
Red flags and escalation advice appear before general self-care.
Clinical guidelines, public-health agencies and professional bodies support key claims.
The library does not rank pills, clinics or treatments for affiliate commission.
